Part of the season's interesting dichotomy came
from the silhouette: Jacobs cut a more frankly feminine shape than he
has in the recent past, with deep necklines on full-skirted dresses, body-hugging
sheaths under boxy jackets and snug pencil skirts or cigarette pants paired
with sexy camisole tops. And part of it was his flower-garden color choices:
soft pink, lavender, pale yellow, orange, chartreuse and ivory. For even
greater contrast, he manipulated soft, airy fabrics like satin, lace,
and cashmere against dense ribbed ottoman, nubby, Chanel-evoking tweeds
and silk shantung. Vogue
